I like Connor.. but he will never be champ with his current skill set. Just cuz I like a fighter I'm not nieve nuff to say he will be champ. When clearly all his flaws point otherwise
Aldo has the same skillset. Stand up striker with very little head movement at all, Aldo gets hit too. Good kicks, leg kicks are probably better than Connor's but Aldo doesn't throw the variety of kicks Connor does. Both are Shit on the ground. I'd argue Connor has better footwork than anything I have seen from Aldo.
So Aldo has ruled the division with the same skillset that Connor has but Connor can't be a champion in that division? That makes no sense bud.
They are the same fighter on paper more or less different striking styles but they are very much the same stand up style of fighter. We'll get to see who breaks who in the fight, but I honestly believe Connor is in his head and that shit is beyond dangerous. It makes dudes second guess everything they throw.
The fight should be determined by leg kicks early. IF Aldo can land those nasty leg kicks repeatedly he will win, if Connor can slip them he can win. Easily. He's faster then Aldo. We'll see if he can hang with Aldo's power.
Jose has been a giant in a division of midgets for a long long while, it's why he's so mad at the IV ban.
I figured you heard Connor was moving up after this fight, at least if he wins he said he's done and going to lightweight unless Frankie Edgar performs well. I don't see him staying there because Frankie will grind that ass into the canvas. Niether are staying at that weight, but this fight is in December. After the IV ban is in place which starts October 1. Aldo needs the bag. He's too fucking big. It's going to be a bad cut for him which is going to play into the outcome of the fight I fear which in itself fucking sucks huge.
